About LivAI:
The primary challenge addressed by this project revolves around how technology and data should be approached from an ethical standpoint within a certification framework that ensures standards for all types of learning and work. The Commission has also presented a Digital Education Action Plan aimed at promoting digital skills and competencies for all citizens. This plan will explore the impact of AI on education and training through pilot tests. As such, this project is presented as a pilot project with the goal of enhancing the availability of high-quality learning opportunities for adults.”
